Traditional mainframe application development for batch applications or on-line transactions has been done for decades using the TSO/ISPF environment. IBM's RDz (Rational Developer for z Systems - actually called IDz or IBM Developer for z Systems) facilitates the development process by offering a complete integrated workbench for coding, testing and debugging these applications. The development will be done locally, but at any stage with a connection to the remote z/OS.

In this course, participants learn:

to use RDz for the development of traditional well structured batch or online mainframe oriented applications, written in COBOL or PL/I;

to test and debug these applications efficiently, using the integrated debugger and zUnit;

to know the possibilities for integrating z/OS applications, using database access (Db2);

to manage and deploy the applications on the z/OS.

Schedule

No public sessions are currently scheduled. We will be pleased to set up an on-site course or to schedule an extra public session (in case of a sufficient number of candidates). Interested? Please contact ABIS.
